The digital editions are hosted on a new platform built by smedia which is designed to be cleaner and less clunky. Its launch follows News’ decision to pull many of its mastheads from digital publishing platform PressReader.

Plans to build an app or app integration where the NT News’ new digital product can be accessed are still in the works.

NT News editor Rachel Hancock said the new digital edition was especially useful given the Northern Territory’s vast distribution area.

“It’s quite a big deal for us, given that we think that our paper has got a pretty massive following – but (the print edition) is not necessarily available to everyone who wants to get their hands on it,” she said.
